Afternoon everyone! I found some very tall, full-figured T. fortunei in Portland, OR when I was driving by recently. Well ok, I took the photos in the fall of 2019 so I'm a little late (my apologies).

I've attached some photos and the google maps street-view link (which, arguably is slightly dated) here: https://goo.gl/maps/afhGzkTjNrYzEUPQ6

Can anyone guess the height of them? I would love to know. Its inspiring seeing palms this size this grow here.

I'd say roughly 30'.  About 10' per storey and those apartments are 2 storeys.  I have similar sized ones in my neighborhood which dates back to 1993.

Lots of big windmills, but finding anything else is challenging. You see the odd nice chamaerops, other species tend to be hidden away in private gardens.
